Ascertaining Certainty About the View commentary by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche on Chapter Seven, Section Three of The Treasury of Knowledge by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye

From the publisher:

"This is a detailed, line-by-line commentary by Khenpo Tsultrim on the
seventh chapter of the third section of Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye’s
Treasury of Knowledge, which covers seven points on gaining certainty of
the correct view. It is explained from the perspective of the different
Buddhist philosophical schools. Included are Jamgon Kongtrul’s root verses of the
text and his commentary along with several songs by Khenpo Tsultrim and
Milarepa on the views and approaches of the different Buddhist schools."

“How is it that you liberate yourself from suffering? First of all, you
understand that the conditions that create suffering are not truly
existent, for example, like appearances within a dream. You then come
to understand that suffering itself has no essence, that it is not
truly existent. Through deeply thinking about this and through
analysing, you develop certainty. The point of working with the view or
with philosophies is to develop a clear conviction through reflection
that leads to certainty. If you then meditate on emptiness, you will
realize emptiness directly and at that point suffering vanishes.”
